Senate -House Committee Plans to Streamline National Legislature WASHINGTON, (UPJA spec- ial Senate-house committee Mon day recommended elimination of more than half of the standing congressional committees as part of a far-reaching, 37- point reor- j ganization plan designed to meet "a grave constitutional crisis." ! A $5,000 a year increase in con gressional salaries and a pension plan for congressional salaries and a pension plan for congressmen were among other proposals made by the 12-man committee after a four month study on ways to stream-line the national legisla ture. The committee said its recom-j mendations were made "in res-, ponse to a widespread congres-j sional and public belief that a grave constitutional crisis exists in which the fate of representa tive government itself is at stake." Non-Elective Officials More and more, the report said public affairs are being handled by administrative agencies headed by non-elective officials "with only casual oversight by Con gress." But government by ad ministration, it declared, is a dan gerous object of "group pressures which weaken it is protection of the nublic interest." "Under these conditions," the committee said, "it was believed the time is ripe for congress to reconsider its role in the Ameri can scheme of government and to modernize its organization and procedures." The report said the existing committee system was the No. 1 problem involved in an attempt to reorganize congress because it was "obsolete and overlapping' and reDresented a "luxury and waste of manpower." Fewer Committees It recommended that the sen ate's 33 standing committees be organized into 16 and that the House's 48 be consolidated into 18. It proposed that each senator be limited to membership on two Stvlecraft Re-oDens Monday Morning The Stvlecraft Manufacturing Company resumed operation Mon day and is rrakine robes aeain, ac cording to Charles Babian, nlaTit manaeer.

The boys re ceiving the badges were : Dick Gapen, Dale Fleischman, Curtis Winters, Stanley Cole and Lyle Reed. Rev. Taenzler opened the ser vices with a prayer and a brief history of the troop. He then pre sented the scouts with their enroll ment certificates. E. G. Ofe, chair man of the board, gave the certifi cates to the scout officers. The Vesper service was led by Jake Taenzler, senior patrol lead er, who opened it by giving a brief summary of the history of scout ing in America and England.

At present, it said, many senators serve on as many as 10 committees while some house members on as many as six or more.

Wilson said unconfirmed Chi nese reports added that Malinov sky declared "if anybody but Rus sia reached a hand into Manchur ia, Russia will cut off that hand."

The senator's "bill said the G.I. could choose the color he wanted. The Senate, which cracked no smile, either, sent it to the committee on post offices. Medical Examination Sen. Langer said there were many diseased people in America. He presented a bill calling for $3, 750,000,000 to give everybody a special kind of examination not Food Program Is Moved Ahead to Avert Famine WASHINGTON, (UK The ad ministration moved ahead rapidly Monday with its program to avert what threatened to be the worst global famine in history.

The price adjustment was de signed to balance livestock feed ine with reduced prices of stains and encourage prornnt marketing.

The committee on education got this one. He said there should be more 'research into the cause of cancer. He said this might be costly, but that his bill calling for $3,750, 000,000 for such study should be sufficient. It also went to the edu cation committee. The senator said he felt that there had not been enough study of infantile paralysis. His bill pro viding $3,750,000,000 was read into the record and joined the cancer bill on the education com mittee desk. The roads of this nation, Sen. Langer said, are in atrovious state.

Number 7) Workers Seek 181 Cent Raise NEW YORK, 0J.R) A nation wide telephone strike appeared in evitable Monday unless the gov ernment intervenes to halt tha walkout of 250,000 workers in 42 states scheduled for a. m., Thursday. Negotiations b e t w e e n the American Telephone and Tele graph Co., and the federation of long lines telephone workers broke off at 2:30 a. m., today with tho company standing on it.- offer of a 15 cent hourly wage increase and the union holding out far 18 's cents. "There is little hope that a strike can be averted unless tho company changes its attitude,' said Henry Mayer, counsel for the union. . The long lines federation is an affiliate of the independent na tional federation of telephone workers, which set the' date of the nationwide walkout at a meet ing in Memphis, Tenn., two weks ago. A settlement of the dispute with the long lines workers, it was believed, would have set a pattern for negotiations in other affiliates of the NFTW. No More Talks John J. Moran, president of the long lines federation, said the union would participate in no more wage talks with the company. However, he said he would- be willing to continue negotiations in Washington if labor department officials intervened in an effort to avert the strike. Moran said he had agreed to Sunday's meeting "expecting a bona fide offer. The meeting was fruitless. The company knew I would not go below I8V2 cents an hour." Only result of the 13-hour meet ing, Moran said, was an increase in the company's offer from 14.3 cents an hour to 15 cents. George S.. Dring .assistant jrice . president of the A. T. & T., in charge of industrial relations, said the -company had suggested a continuation of negotiations "but no date has been set." . He said the, 15 cent raise offer ed by the company would add $6,000,000 annually to the wages of long lines workers in the New York area alone. "Waste of Time" U. S. Conciliator Peter J. Manno met with the two groups through out the session. He had stated pre viously that the meeting would continue as long as the conferees could stay awake, but he adjourn ed the session at 2:30 a. m., "be cause it is a waste of time." A strike of the 250,000 tele phone workers would disrupt all except local dial telephone ser vice in 42 states ar.d transoce anic calls. The walkout of the 19,000 long lines workers alone would, halt trans-oceanic service, long dis tance calls and would possibly af fect teletype and telegraph cir cuits leased by the government, press associations, radio networks and private organizations. However, the A. T. & T., has stated that it would attempt to maintain all circuits used by the government, the press and radio. The long lines department of A. T. & T., operates about 1,500, 000 miles of teletype and tele graph circuits for government agencies, press associations, and private organizations. Radio net works use about 80,000 miles of long lines. Picket Lines Only 16 of the NFTW's 4S af filiates have agreed to partici pate in the walkout. However, th? union has stated that picket lines will be thrown up around all tele phone companies and it expects all 250,000 of its members to re fuse to cross picket lines. Some unions already have indi cated that they will not abide by the walkout order. In Syracuse, 3,000 members of the Empire State Telephone union, an affili ate of the NFTW have agreed not to strike and 5,000 members of the Connecticut union of tie phone workers have voted to ig nore, the walkout. Several other telephone unions throughout the New England states also have agreed to ignore the strike order.
